I've been meaning to update my journal for a while, but all I could think to write about is crap that happens at the arcade I work. So I decided to rant about it. I've been working there for bout 7 years now so I've got a few issues with it.

Anyone who's been in a decent arcade knows they have prizes they give away if you've won enough tickets. Well we sell finger traps most of the time, and half of our customers don't even know what they are, but they want them any way. They dont even ask what they are, they just want it. and then freak out when they cant get their fingers out of them or the just rip them in half and throw them on the floor for me to pick up. i've actually had a guy buy 5 of them had trap all of his fingers in them and couldn't get out, even by ripping them in half.

Tattoos are fun. When people want them they have to tell us which
one(s) they want cause we dont pull the bucket out for them to pick from cause they're in nice little stacks and we like to keep them that way. So when they want one, they tend to point at it with there finger pressing on the top or front counter glass and say I want that one. Well from were i'm standing I cant see what there pointing at so I say which one, to which they repeat, that one. This is mostly little kids thankfully. By the way, we have had scooby doo tattoos were there are 5 differant scooby doos, 1 mystery machine, 1 scooby doo logo, 1 shaggy, and 1 with both shaggy and scooby. Now when i ask them which one they continue to say that one so ask them to tell my which one they want. "I want the dog." *face counter*. I've had a kid tell me that with the phrase "That one" after words so I had to figure out which scooby tat he wanted. turns out he wanted shaggy.

Now differant subject. When you think of tokens, do you think of something like the coins you use on the games, or the thin cardboard strips that are used to win prizes. I would think coins, but half the customers ask me if they can cash in they're tokens whilst refereing to their tickets. The machine that you get the gold coin that are used to play the games says tokens and the tickets say "1 COUPON". How do that many of our customers get them mixed up.

again with the subject changing. Id put it in another journal but its fresh on my mind and Im lazy on my bosses dial up connection. From out on the arcade floor I hear a nickname alot of people call me from a vioce i dont recognize. I look out and someones at the counter and I still dont recognize him, but he say he knows me. Calls himself Jon. Now only one friend comes top mind when i hear That name and he dont look like him, and to top it all off, he uses my friend's last name. So I'm Like NNOOOOOOOO your not. So he says he's not and says he hangs with him sometimes and got the nickname from him. By the way, I hate when people I don't know, know and use my name or nickname. especially my nickname.

you should probably know that half of Dublin, GA knows me as "JESUS" because I aparentlly look like him. If that offends any one, I want you to know I dont like being called that any more. I also dont like strange people coming up to me and wanting to know my name for no reason. I bothers me and makes me paraniod.

Im sorry this rant was so long, and now Im pissed cause I just saw a boy through a basketball in a game that could be really easly be damaged and I cant type cause my hands are shacking and lossing my abillity to spell or care about it. Next rant might be about kids who think their hard.
